Back when the Sima family was thriving, Sima Dexian was the beloved Princess Jin'an, adored by all and living in unmatched splendor.
And Cao Yuan was merely the son of a eunuch, yet he dared to court her. Wasn’t it only natural for her to humiliate him?
After watching him leave, deeply hurt, Princess Jin'an felt guilty for the first time in her life, but that feeling vanished as quickly as it came.
Thirty years later, her fortunes had turned. Her country was destroyed and her family gone. The once-noble princess had fallen into the mud and become a kitchen maid in a nouveau riche household. A phoenix without its feathers is no better than a chicken.
Naturally, she couldn’t just sit around and wait, so Sima Dexian set her sights on the household’s newly arrived, distinguished guest. When she discovered that the man was Cao Yuan, the very person she had once humiliated...
Sima Dexian spent her days and nights worrying he would recognize her and take revenge. Only then did she understand the meaning of “Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west. Never look down on a poor young man.”
Cao Yuan, who recognized her the instant they met again, simply said, “Heh.”
The face-slapping version of the blurb.
“Even if you beat me to death, I will never like that brat Cao Yuan!” Princess Jin'an once declared with absolute conviction.
Later, Princess Jin'an: “Mmm! Delicious!”
Cao Yuan: “...”
“Wait!!! Why am I the only one getting face-slapped?” Princess Jin'an complained.
“Because I’ve never stopped loving you!” Cao, now a master at winning over princesses, put on a cold expression.
